While looking at the following piece of code, in
memrefs_conflict_p () in alias.c
if (GET_CODE (x) == GET_CODE (y))
switch (GET_CODE (x))
{
......
case REG:
if (alias_invariant)
{
.....
}
break;
}
....
return 1;
I found that it always returns 1 for cse in case of
REG, as the alias_invariant array is NULL. The
alias_invariant is being set in loop unrolling pass
which happens much later than cse. Thus, in cse we
always assume that the two regs always conflict. This
seems to be too pessimistic as there may be cases
where the addresses contained in two regs may be
different. Can we add some intelligence in the
compiler here?

Remove the "flag_unroll_loops" test in init_alias_analysis() and
see what happens.

Ya, I just saw that. that is as good as you specify
-funroll-loop option. it only allocates the memory for
alias_invariant array, but there is no meaningful
information in alias_invariant for cse.

Yes. alias.c computes function invariants. If a register
is set more than once, it varies, and thus there is no data
on what it points to.

The only point I wanted to indicate is that there
seems to be no way of determining whether the
addresses contained in two REGs may be distinct.
e.g. base_alias_check () *only compares the base
addresses* of two REGs and assumes aliasing if they
match.
The mechanism to know how the addresses in two REGs
have been computed is missing, which may help in
distinguishing the addresses.
